Loads more from Kramer

Compact they may be, but the recently launched Kramer Allrad 650 and 550 wheel-loaders are said to be designed to handle weighty construction matters. Both machines are made for the 0.6m³ class, have all-wheel steering mechanisms to reduce material handling time, and are also fitted with a non-articulated chassis, said by Kramer to ensure high stability due to the constant centre of gravity. Both the 650 and the 550 have hydrostatic drive.

Kramer Allrad 650
Compact they may be, but the recently launched 4849 Kramer Allrad 650 and 550 wheel-loaders are said to be designed to handle weighty construction matters.

Both machines are made for the 0.6m³ class, have all-wheel steering mechanisms to reduce material handling time, and are also fitted with a non-articulated chassis, said by Kramer to ensure high stability due to the constant centre of gravity. Both the 650 and the 550 have hydrostatic drive.

Like its smaller brother the 550, the 650 has a parallel telescopic arm for maximum reach, enabling loads such as pallets to be moved in and out from the second row.

An optional stabiliser also increases safety and comfort, while simultaneously protecting the machine.

    Mention the letters MTV and most people will think you’re referring to Music Television, the firm that revolutionised the music video. But in the road construction sector the letters have another meaning: Material Transfer Vehicle. Roadtec pioneered the MTV concept with its Shuttle Buggy, which it introduced in 1989. The concept was a novel one, providing a transition between the truck hauling the asphalt to the site and the asphalt paver. The idea of the machine was that it would provide a buffer system
